Why on earth am I asking this? Don't answer that question.	Ruminantia aren't immune to venomous bites or stings, but they're more tolerant to them. If the toxin is consumed orally? Absolutely immune. If the toxin is delivered via blood stream, inhalation, or topically? They'll be tolerant, but not fully immune. The way toxins might register to a Ruminantia-type if applied in any way other than being consumed is with more benign side-effects. If a neurotoxin would kill your average Glire-type, a Ruminantia-type may experience disorientation, confusion, seizures, or lowered inhibitions. In that sense, they'll be more tolerant to the effects of toxic compounds administered in any other way besides consuming them, but not immune. They only have guts of steel! Alas, however, they only gain power from consuming various poisons. Not from being injected by them.
